dust mite allergy?

Post by MtnGirl98 »

I am new here and I havent seen anything on this, but my doctor had me allergy tested when I first got rosacea (this past September). It turns out I am allergic to dust mites.

I am wondering if this is normal for rosacea and even if I kill them with the ZZ cream, will I see experience rosacea when even a small amount of mites are on my skin, as I'm told we all have them to some degree, so I'm assuming that this is something you can never FULLY be rid of.... so I'm wondering just what amount of them makes you red. With the allergy does this mean it is something I will always have a problem with?

And has anyone who's been diagnosed with an allergy to dust mites tried allergy shots? My allergist wouldnt prescribe them so I'm thinking about getting the sublingual allergy therapy which isn't FDA approved in America but there are still doctors who do it. I wonder if this will help with the rosacea.

Thanks!
